Ahem +1. I am hip to two generations of text based games, and HP 2000B. We programmed roulette on B.U.S.D, Berkeley Unified School District. Got the David Ahl books, but did not have access to the DECUS games tapes. ( Now I find that David Ahl was working at DEC, got canned, and then started Creative Computing ) Add Life, and Lunar Lander. Later in college, we had IBM PCs, Monochrome, so ... we found both Rogue, and went over to Berkeley, and met Michael, and Glenn. We also had Empire, converted from Fortran, to the PC. and... Nethack. We wanted to get Nethack running on Xenix... blew up the whole machine twice... And of corse HHGTTG. Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy. Over at Egghead, the sales guy had solved most of it, and told us about the really hardest parts. Now, the entire Infocomm library runs in a web browser. Soon, my roommate got an Amiga, and a modem.
